Apparently you can leave your Motorhome parked on the street but not in your driveway. Does anyone know what the restriction is (if there is one) south of 466? I thought there was a restriction that you could only park your motohome on the street for 24 hours to load and unload. However, my friend was told by Sumter County there was no such restriction and would not require a neighbor to move there motorhome that is ALWAYS parked on the street.

Here are the deed restrictions....its in there.
VCDD Deed Compliance - Sumter County

You might want to do a search, this topic was covered in great boring detail within the last few weeks.

You might want to call Deed Compliance because the last notice I have and from an HOA posting was 72 hrs. Nobody can be living in the unit and it can't impede traffic flow. In other words the biggest firetruck has to be able to get by witout riding on the curb or lawn on the otherside. Sumter County also has rules about permanent on street parking. If you get nowhere with deed restriction you might want to give Sumter County Sherrif a call.

Common sense is something a few people do not have.

Default deed restrictions

According to the Deed Restrictions you cannot leave a motohome on the street night after night. Thanks very much for the information. Question: who enforces these restriction ie. if the Sumter County Sheriff office will not?

justjim, click on Bogie Shooter's link then click on "deed compliance." Along the right side there are phone & fax numbers & email addresses for Community Standards.

Since the roads are public property and free for the use of all, How would the deed compliance office have any jurisdiction over them?

I have an RV a 40 foot fifthwheel. (yea it's huge it's also 13 feet high!) On the rare occasion I pull it in front of the house to go on a trip (4 times a year) I try to load it and take it back to storrage asap. BUT someone in the neighborhood ALWAYS calls the Sheriff or the Villages security to complain. Once that happens I say to the Sheriff well I was going to take it right back to storrage but now I'm leaving it there for 71 more hours (My alloted time!)

Such an adult way of thinking.

Hopefully, when our district is taken over by the owners, we can put in a "no overnight parking restriction".

"Such an adult way of thinking"Maybe to the crybaby who called the police because he was unloading his motorhome. I would be embarrased to waste the police department time on such complaint. People who do this remind when I was a kid who made a big deal if you stepped on their grass. Grumpy people who have nothing better to do. Think I would part it also for the 71 hours. Please some of you people get a life.

It's not the police, it's community standards, paid by all of us to enforce the restrictions.
